I don't really want to create even more packages…

That doesn't work as it breaks the dependency chains.  The packages
depending on mingw64-*-openssl would trigger an update to a different
ABI, not a replacement for the old one.  So they'd all have to be
rebuilt (which  isn't going to happen any time soon).

You meant to say something else, but I'm not sure what.  :-)

I have no problem with that idea as long as the previous packages can be
reinstated for inspection if necessary.

Yes, all the hint files would need to get edited.
